Anyone think there is an exceptional candidate worth voting for?

Here's my personal opinion listening to them give speeches.

St Pats guy
Well spoken, has an idea hes thought out, and he's likable
Con
Frat Boy
St Pats board

Dominic Somethingotherfaceguy
Well Spoken
Has ideas that are thought out
Cons
4.0 does that really represent the student body?
Frat Boy
Douche Bag face

CCF Guy
Not well spoken, not well thought out, and he's fucking only in STUCO and CCF I find nothing good in this guy which the other two don't have
Pro Not a Frat Guy

Although this candidate is in my area of Academic interest (Applied Mathematics), I don't see him agreeing with me on a majority of topics.
  • Christian Campus Fellowship implies more religion than my body has room for.
  • Flag Football MVP is a WTF?!? award.
  • His narrative reads out vague and illusive to what his actual agenda is for the Student Body as President.

The next candidate seems well rounded (no pun intended) and experienced with a multitude of leadership positions.
  • The probability he will say I believe in a speech seems high; seriously dude, lighten up on the I believe nullifiers and use more forceful I will.
  • 3.11 GPA is pretty much the top of the bell curve for the student body.
  • Civil Engineering is a discipline very far removed from my discipline of Computer Science and Mathematics. He and I would obviously not have the same priorities when our opinions reduce to Departmental action.
  • He obviously values St. Pats. Give him a pat on the back and a mug of beer.

This candidate seems right for me, as he is an Electrical Engineer. That somewhat gets close to my Computer Science interests (a lot closer than Civil Engineers, anyway).
CaptainCard has some interesting notes to point out:

Douche Bag face


Frat Boy / Douche Bag face don't matter to me (though that face is a bit douche-baggish). The 4.0 might be indicative of more idealism than realism. Most students do not have a 4.0, and thus he might be representing an elitist group.
However, I'd rather choose someone who can think clearly enough to have been awarded those scholarships and achieve those grades.
  • 4.0 GPA implies he knows what he's doing.
  • I'd rather have Al Gore for the last 8 years than Dubya Bush. Gore knew where his priorities were. Although Bush represented the great majority of Americans, would you prefer to have that great majority making the decisions?
  • Douche-bag faces are threatening to your enemies!

That is a bit of a douche-bag move. I like the second candidate now.

I'd rather see somebody who works hard and gets a 4.0 in EE than somebody who gets the campus average in civil. (No offense to CivE's but you've got to admit which major has the lesser of the difficulty requirements)

I second what Chank said. Dominic actually wants to be the president and has already served as a VP for a year. Schawrz seems to be using this as just another thing to put on his resume since.
